Young Jeezy is preparing to make it snow this Christmas when he releases his long awaited TM103: Hustlerz Ambition album on December 20.


During a conference call yesterday, the Snowman revealed details about the project, working with T.I. and even gave his opinion on President Obama.


"The time is here," Jeezy said of TM103. "I'm not just dropping it because it's a deadline. It's time. I feel like the streets waited long enough, and they need their spokesperson -- their people's champ -- to come back, and talk to them and lead them. So this is not a thing about Def Jam and me trying to meet a quota. I know I said September 20 the first time, but it didn't feel right because there was nothing for me to say at the time. Now there's something for me to say, because the people are ready to be spoken to."


Production on the project will come from J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Lil C and Lil Lody, who produced Jeezy's new street single, ".38."


Although no official tracklisting for TM103 is available yet, one song that is almost sure to make the cut is the recently released "F.A.M.E." featuring T.I. The two Atlanta rappers are close friends and might possibly even record an album together according to Jeezy.

“My first option would be Tupac, but he’s no longer here. Rest in peace to him," he said. "Me and Tip actually were together and we [talked] about it. We've just hit the ground running and been doing so many records that I don't think it's impossible. And we've known each other [long] enough to put something like that together, and I definitely think that the city would need it, because it would be a good look. And it would be an amazing album release party, by the way."


The conversation then took a political turn as Jeezy talked about President Obama's current woes.


"I think Obama is in a serious situation right now," he says. "Because you can change a lot of things, but at the end of the day, we all need money to live, and I think that's everybody's problem... The sooner Obama can get some people some money and some jobs, him and Michelle [Obama] will be way better off. We're gonna ride for them like they ride for us, but we need money right now, man."
